WASHINGTON — The Navy’s top civilian has resigned following after he criticized an aircraft carrier captain who pleaded for help with a coronavirus outbreak on his ship, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The latest revelation comes hours after acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly apologized after ridiculing USS Theodore Roosevelt captain Brett Crozier.

That feckless douche never should have come within 100 miles of the job he was given. Trump has an unparalleled knack for finding unqualified hacks who humiliate themselves while embarrassing the country.

I love it that the sailors on his ship cheered Captain Crozier and chanted his name as he was forced off the ship, in into quarantine. I hope he recovers from the virus. He was prepared to sacrifice his career for his men. Few people have that much character.

Sacrifice the men...........the ones infected to date that I know of were only required to be quarantined on Guam Naval Base.......To date none have been hospitalized........that I have seen.

One person on this thread show evidence ovewise.
The ship was ordered to Guam.
The ship was testing what could be tested daily. Due to limited labs, and tests.
No sailor, has been hospitalized..........show me different. I might be wrong.

What could be done was being done.......many other ships have cases.........This didn't happen. The USS Boxer is another example........did they cry momma and go to the press.......no they didn't.

Donald Trump is the President of the United States, and the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.

It's his prerogative to hire and fire whomever he wants, not yours. You're just some insignificant and anonymous schmuck on an internet discussion board, so in the big picture of things, your opinion doesn't matter one way or the other.

You are right 100% President is the Commander in Chief. That is if he can prove himself fit.

1. The problem is the acting Secretary of Navy Modly resigned voluntarily.

2. The same with SON Spencer. Fired or resigned because he disagreed with Trump pardoning Eddie Gallagher.
3. Followed by Rear Admiral Green commander of naval Special Command. Because of Gallagher. Bad as it is Trump invited Eddie and his wife to Trump Christmas party 2019 at Maralago.

Just imagine what are the soldiers thinking and morals against this commander in chief. I will leave that to you.

“We must not allow President Trump to openly flout the oversight measures," a trio of Democrats say.

A top House committee chairwoman is proposing legislation that would undo President Donald Trump's move to sideline the federal watchdog originally tapped to oversee the $2 trillion coronavirus relief law.

House Oversight and Government Reform Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney, along with Reps. Gerald Connolly (D-Va.) and Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), offered a bill Wednesday that would expand the roster of officials permitted to lead the oversight effort, ensuring that Trump's incursion on the panel would not prevent the original pick — Pentagon watchdog Glenn Fine — from keeping the position.

The president has removed acting Pentagon Inspector General Glenn Fine, who was tapped last week to lead the committee charged with overseeing the $2 trillion coronavirus relief package.

WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump has removed the lead watchdog overseeing the $2 trillion coronavirus package, just days after the official, Glenn Fine, was appointed to the role.

The move came as Trump pursued similar action in recent weeks against independent inspectors general across the federal government.

Fine had been the acting Pentagon inspector general until Monday afternoon, when Trump abruptly removed him from his post.

“Yesterday, the President nominated Mr. Jason Abend for the position of DoD Inspector General,” said Dwrena Allen, a spokesperson for the Defense Department’s Inspector General, in a statement to CNBC.

This is the most unstable administration in our history.

Donnie don't need no steenking oversight. Just watch, he'll fire the new lackey from his own legal department too if the guy does anything more than sit on his thumb and pull out a plum. Meh, we can trust him and Creepy Steve Munchkin with half a trillion.
